To The Whites Of My Eyes
To the shattered, blood-soaked whites of my eyes, I give this salute–a thank you, a ticker-tape parade of twenty-six letters arranged in pretty patterns–which are, in turn, zeros and ones arranged in pretty patterns, filaments in liquid crystal, themselves burst liquid veins in waxy casings… Obviously, I’m tired. Eight, nine, hours of staring. Click. Click. Click. A shot. A [...]

I wrote this mostly in Montana. ——- Look to the horizon. It’s Spring, mid-evening. A ribbon of faint sunlight stretches across the horizon. It’s nine o’clock, and still dusk, and the view is some Pentacostal ecstasy. Your soul ruptures, and all your questions dissolve: the Infinite, the Endles, Heaven, Hell, Ying, Yang... here it is—The Answer!—in all [...]

I’m moving Saturday, so I will be offline for a few days. There’s no internet connection set up at the new place, so I may be typing up blog posts at Barnes & Noble after this. We’ll see. In the meantime, I’ve posted a clip from my upcoming comedy The Shrub Whisperer. Let me know what [...]

In this post, you’re getting three blog posts in one. They have almost nothing to do with each other–I just had a lot on my mind last night. BLOG PART ONE: — THE HIRE — Recently, a number of friends have sent me links to short films that inspired them. In particular, my friend John sent me [...]

I’m toying around with Magic Bullet Software, which basically takes your video footage and makes it look cool. We’re experimenting with a look for my upcoming short comedy The Shrub Whisperer (the picture’s almost locked on this one). Let me know what you think!

———–ONE———– So I’m waiting backstage, and I’m terrified. We’ve rehearsed, rewritten, revised, blocked. The set looks gorgeous. The lighting’s okay, but there’s nothing we can do about it. I’m sick, and I’ve decided to offset my illness with half a gallon of black coffee. Twenty feet in front of me, the choir’s finishing their number. That’s my cue. Right. [...]

I spent the past hour watching rain pelt my windshield. When it precipitates in San Diego, the populous thinks Al Gore’s Inconvenient Nightmare has arrived, and traffic slows to the pace of a five-legged millipede crawling uphill in a mudslide. My dog was in the back of the car–a vet’s appointment–gassing my car with that [...]

Sunday, January 18, 2009
Thirty seconds after I got off the plane, I forgot what it was like to be warm. The wind blew through me like I was a screen door. The blood cells in my veins froze together. My lips cracked like a forty year-old driveway. When I was nineteen, I worked at a Wal-Mart in Montevideo, Minnesota. [...]
